OK this may sound a bit strange/weird ....jumping from another thread .....has anyone else noticed "genetic" defects in their family teeth ? ok, here goes
...My father was born with two teeth , two top center, which according to family history were removed soon after birth to enable him to suckle , the adult teeth grew in when he was about ten years old ,guess it was what they did in the early 20s ...next generation ...Me , I only found this out a couple of years ago when I changed dentists, no one had ever mentioned it before, and was told I had 33 teeth (an extra tooth in the center bottom jaw) , evidently most folks only have 32 , ( something I never knew , just thought movie stars had more teeth
) ok ...onto the next generation ...my Son .... normal until his top two center baby teeth fell out , and nothing came after and he has had a " mini-plate" since he was 11 yrs old , only seems to happen in the male line ..............now I'm waiting to see what will happen to my Grandsons
anyone else came across anything like this , and just curious how often it happens .
